Federal Banking Agencies Seek Comment on Call Report Proposal for Small Financial Institutions
On August 5, the FFIEC announced that the OCC, the FDIC, and the Federal Reserve are seeking public comment on a proposal for a new Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for Eligible Small Institutions (FFIEC 051/Call Report). The proposed Call Report is a streamlined version of the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a Bank with Domestic Offices Only (FFIEC 041), and would be applicable to financial institutions with domestic offices only and total assets of less than $1 billion. Intended to ease the reporting requirements for smaller institutions, the proposed Call Report would remove approximately 40% of about 2,400 data items in FFIEC 041. FFIEC 041 would remain applicable to institutions with domestic offices only that do not file the proposed Call Report. The banking agencies are also seeking public comment on proposed revisions to the FFIEC 041 and the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income for a Bank with Domestic and Foreign Offices (FFIEC 031). Comments are due 60 days after Federal Register publication, which has not yet occurred.
